parse.Float error

[Vandy02]

I am trying to compile a program but receive errors.
I am using jdk1.3 and j2sdk1.4.2 on separate machines.

Errors are:
cannot resolve symbol
symbol: method parseFloat (java.lang.String)
location: class Float
float x = Float.parseFloat(xString)
and receive the same for float y

Is thier an upgrade or soemthing I else I need to do?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The following is my script:
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class AddFloat extends Applet implements ActionListener{

TextField txtX = new TextField();
TextField txtY = new TextField();
Panel pnlCenter = new Panel();

Label lblAnswer = new Label();
Button btnAdd = new Button("Add 'em up"
Panel pnlSouth = new Panel();

public void init(){
//main layout
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
add(pnlCenter, BorderLayout.CENTER);
add(pnlSouth, BorderLayout.SOUTH);

//center panel
pnlCenter.setLayout(new GridLayout(3,2));
pnlCenter.setFont(new Font("SansSerif", Font.BOLD, 20));
pnlCenter.add(new Label("X:&quot);
pnlCenter.add(txtX);
pnlCenter.add(new Label("Y:&quot);
pnlCenter.add(txtY);
pnlCenter.add(new Label("X + Y&quot);
pnlCenter.add(lblAnswer);

//south panel
pnlSouth.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
pnlSouth.add(btnAdd);
btnAdd.addActionListener(this);

} // end init

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){

Float xWrapper = new Float(txtX.getText());
Float yWrapper = new Float(txtY.getText());

float x = xWrapper.floatValue();
float y = yWrapper.floatValue();
String result = String.valueOf(x + y);
lblAnswer.setText(result);

} // end actionPerformed

} // end class def



import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class AddFloat extends Applet implements ActionListener{

TextField txtX = new TextField();
TextField txtY = new TextField();
Panel pnlCenter = new Panel();

Label lblAnswer = new Label();

Hi,

I copy/paste both of your classes and compiled in my machine using j2sdk1.4.1 and both compile without warnings/errors. I think you need to check your path and classpath environment variables.

I copy/paste the first of your classes and compiled in my machine using j2sdk1.4.2 and compiled without warnings/errors. Like Andres said "check your path and classpath environment variables".
Maybe compiling with the "-verbose" parameter can give you more info.
